Visual-tactile multimodality for following deformable linear objects using reinforcement learning

L Pecyna, S Dong, S Luo - 2022 IEEE/RSJ International …, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Manipulation of deformable objects is a challenging task for a robot. It would be problematic
to use a single sensory input to track the behaviour of such objects: vision can be subjected …

In-hand object pose estimation using covariance-based tactile to geometry matching

J Bimbo, S Luo, K Althoefer… - IEEE Robotics and …, 2016 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This letter presents a strategy to represent data from a tactile array sensor and match it to an
object's geometric features. Using that representation, a method is presented to localise a …

Multi-object grasping–estimating the number of objects in a robotic grasp

T Chen, A Shenoy, A Kolinko, S Shah… - 2021 IEEE/RSJ …, 2021 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
A human hand can grasp a desired number of objects at once from a pile based solely on
tactile sensing. To do so, a robot needs to make a grasp in a pile, sense the number of …
